PG County Corrections Officers Placed on Leave

Close to three months after 19-year-old Ronnie White was strangled to death while in custody in a Prince George's County jail, the Post is reporting that two corrections officers have been placed on paid leave after being identified as "the focus" of an investigation into the killing. White had been taken into custody on charges of killing a Prince George's County police officer with his car less than 48 hours before he was killed. The two corrections officers who have been on leave since last week have yet to be identified. Guards from the jail reportedly told investigators that White had committed suicide. A recent medical examiner's report showed that White had been strangled, and his death has officially been ruled a homicide.

here's hoping that justice will be served. dude might have been a jerk, but even jerks don't deserve to die at the hand of their captors in custody...

The man killed a police officer. I could care less that this scum is dead. I happily thank whoever killed this criminal. If he was alive my tax dollars would have went to feeding/housing/medical care for this beast. Oh, and I love how his family talks so highly of him. Whatever, the man was a murderer and there is nothing great about that.

Cool. Are they going to go on paid leave for a year like the DC cops involved in the DeOnté Rawlings killing?
